Consultant, Kevin Kennedy Associates Inc.
Providing expertise in physics, frequency standards and metrology, electronic systems spectral purity, research science, inventing, and related expertise to a wide variety of clients.
Chief Scientist, quartz crystals and precision oscillator supplier
Was consultant involved in the development of ultra-stable clocks, crystal-controlled oscillators with improved short- and long-term stability, low-noise microwave oscillators, frequency synthesis from RF to 100 GHz, low-noise distribution systems, low-noise frequency stability measurement systems, and accurate phase and amplitude noise metrology from dc to 100 GHz.
Leader, Phase Noise Group of the Time and Frequency Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, formerly the National Bureau of Standards
Was engaged in research and development of ultra-stable clocks, crystal-controlled oscillators with improved short- and long-term stability, low-noise microwave oscillators, frequency synthesis from RF to infrared, low-noise frequency stability measurement systems, accurate phase and amplitude noise metrology, and ultra-high stability ovens.
Postdoctoral Fellow, Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics, Boulder, CO
Focused on developing low noise techniques for long-term storage and nondestructive detection of fragile atomic ions stored in Penning traps for low energy collision studies.
Graduate student, under Dr. Hans Dehmelt (1989 Nobel Prize physics), University of Washington
Ph.D. thesis required the development of very low-noise electronics and the development of long-term storage and nondestructive detection techniques of electrons stored in a Penning trap. This work resulted in the first measurements of the anomalous magnetic (g-2) moment of low energy electrons and was one of the first low energy tests of QED.
